I'm a bit taller than you but weigh about the same, My cholesterol was over 300 twenty years ago, probably the same ldl/hdl ratio that you have. I was told to take a statin by my primary doctor, and refused, tried to get the cholesterol down with diet and 'natural' meds. I did reduce my cholesterol level down to about 220, but had a first, then a second heart attack, then another, and have a total of eight stents.
